TURIN. We had the pleasure of meeting and worshiping with the good people of Ebenezer church on Saturday and Sun day last. This is one of the oldest Rap- list churches in this section of the State. In its early days the following well-knowrfpeople were members, viz: Kev. Humphrey Posey and wife, Col. Elijah Martin and wife, Hon. Antony North and wife, .lames and Middleton Brown and their wives, Harry Stokes and wile, R. D. Cole, sr., and wife, and many other saintly men and wo men whose names are not now recalled. Deacon J. D. Arnold, J. S. Hammock and It. R. Thompson are now the "pil lars of the church,” their brethren say. It will be recalled that Mrs. Posey be queathed to Mercer University the sum of $10,000, the interest upon which is applied to the education of young men for the ministry. It is a shame upon the Raptist brotherhood of Georgia that the graves of this noble woman and her revered husband are in such a neglect ed state. They are overgrown with weeds and briars, and are enclosed by a crude wall of rock. The Raptists of Georgia should erect a befitting monu ment to this good woman, who did so much to put Mercer University in the front rank with other leading denomi national colleges of the South. We heard one man say that he would head a subscription list for this object with a liberal contribution. Who will be the next to aid in this most worthy under taking? While in the Ebenezer neighborhood we shared the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. .1. D. Arnold, and it is needless to add that we fared sumptuously, for the doors of this hospitable home are al ways open to rich and poor alike. On Sunday we enjoyed a good dinner with Rro. Ren Weldon. Near the "hurch for whites is Ebenezer Colored Raptist church, with a membership numbering over a thousand. They have a large church building, well-finshed inside and out, and as up-to-date in appearance as any country church in the county. It is a credit to the race. Some of our farmers are over-cropped with grass. Many acres already planted have been "turned out,” and some far mers are plowing up their grassy cot ton and sowing the land in peas. The coming cotton crop will be an expen sive one, and if the producer doesn get a good price next fall he will find it a hard matter to make ends meet. Heavy rains this week have flooded the lands and given grass the right-of-way, much to the distress of our already badly-worried farmers. Mrs. W. N. Shell and Mrs. T. I’. Shell and children are visiting Mrs. W. S. Gaines, at LaGrange. Mrs. .1. C. Harris has returned to her home near Newnan, after a visit to friends and relatives here.

"It would be hard to overstate the wonderful change in my mother since she began to use Electric Bitters,” writes Mrs. W. L. Gilpatrick of Dan- forth, Me. “Although past 70 she seems really to be growing young again. She suffered untold misery from dys pepsia for 20 years. At last she could neither eat, drink nor sleep. Doctors gave her up and all remedies failed till | Electric Bitters worked such wonders for her health.” They invigorate all vital organs, cure Liver and Kidney troubles, induce sleep, impart strength and appetite.

In a recent interview Attorney-General Hart had quite a bit to say concerning the State’s present system of taxation; that it is a “hundred years old,” and consists of nothing more than "passing the hat for contributions”—some con tributing according to law, others less, and some not at all. He calls attention to the fact that the brunt of the bur den of supporting the State govern ment now rests upon those who desire to comply strictly with the law, and that they have to suffer for the wrongs of those who misrepresent the value of their property. As a remedy for these evils. Judge Hart suggests a State board of equalizers and a board of assessors in each county. We are in full sympathy with the Attorney-General in his desire for an equitable system of taxation, but would not his remedy be worse than the evils complained of? We believe that the evils of the present system result largely from the injustice of the taxa tion laws now in effect. We wish to call attention especially, in this connec tion, to the double taxation which prop erty is frequently made to hear by reason of the existing laws. For in stance, when a person buys a piece of property from another on credit, the purchaser must give some security for the debt; so he delivers his note to the person from whom he is buying the property. The purchaser must pay tax on the property; the person holding the note must pay tax on it—which is equiv alent to double taxation on the prop erty. It seems to us that such a system is unjust, and that the Legislature should remedy it as soon as possible. This is unquestionably one of the reasons why full valuation is not returned in many cases;—the people are simply trying to dodge double taxation. We are Here With the Goods In Gents’ Furnishings.
